Fittingly for this thread, CP’s script painted heritage unit is going out on NS 31M today. Started switching at 5:40.

On a side note, look at this variety of power!

Is this the first time the roadrailer has taken the CR detroit line? I’ve never heard of it doing that even as a reroute.

No, roadrailers ran from Rutherford, PA to Willow Run in the past. Conrail and NS.
